%2 fhe Butler cfc Jewell Co. 
Berckmans— Same season as Abundance, but 
smaller, and every way inferior. 
BURBANK— Very productive, large, hand- 
some. and popular variety. Our trees of this 
variety, when loaded with ripe fruit, presented 
the handsomest fruit picture it was ever our 
privilege to look upon. The Rural New York- 
er of September 18, 1897, says: "The handsom- 
est plums we have ever seen were sent to us by 
Butler & Jewel, nurserymen, of Cromwell, 
Conn. — Burbanks. They were all about the 
same siee, and measured 61 inches either w T ay 
in circumference, and were therefore nearly 
round. In quality they seemed a shade better 
than Abundance while resembling it in color of 
flesh, juiciness, and meatness ” 
NOTE.— The above comparison is hardly fair 
as our Burbanks were compared with someone 
else’s Abundance. Ninety-five per cent of our 
customers said our Abundance were even better 
than our Burbank, in fact called them the very 
best eating plum they ever tasted. 
CHABOT (Also sold under the names Chase, 
Bailey, Yellow Japan, Botankio, Hattankio, and 
Orient)— Medium to large, handsome fruit which 
sells readily at top prices. Coming at a conven- 
ient season for canning— September. It resem- 
bles our European plums when canned. An ex- 
tra good keeper.
